There are several members that built up their transom. You would have to look in the Personal Pages at all the 1970 13 models and below.

Here is an example of a member that removed all the wood in the transom and replaced it on an Outrage 18' which would be the same principle.

Here is one members 13' that has an inexpensive elevator type bracket.

Here is just one example of the elevator bracket

Trying to put a 20 inch shaft on a 15 inch transom would be like throwing your anchor overboard and then trying to get the boat up on plane.
